Solve : Someone has my msn password please help.?

Answer»

Hi

I have just found out that someone is using my msn account to play on xbox live. I never ever give my passwords out to anybody, so I am not sure how they were able to use my password to msn. What I would like to know now is, how can i stop them using my msn account. Please advise me on this. Thanks!Change your password ASAP, to something strong.
Might be a good idea to change your security questions too.And start thinking about who else has access to your computer...Quote from: patio on October 02, 2008, 03:05:38 PM

I find this strange because nobody else does have access to this computer. I must admit to not having a firewall, so could I have been hacked? I have installed a firewall now just in case, but can anyone give me some examples on how someone could of gotten my password. As I have already mentioned I never tell anyone my passwords. I also cannot see how it would BENEFIT them by setting an xbox360 live account up using my email and password. The guy from xbox live customer services said that they had just used it to set up an account and that no money theft was involved. So why wouldnt they just set up there own msn account? it makes no sense to me. Thanks!Gotta LOVE how people instantly think that it was a hacker BREAKING into their computer rather then some casual onlooker who saw them type the password.Quote from: BC_Programmer on October 02, 2008, 07:39:44 PM

I already said nobody has access to this computer - trust me! I live alone and my rooms have locks on them. I also am not in the habbit of typing in any passwords while some STANDS over me. So if you care to say other ways this could of been done I would like to hear from you again. Also why would they use it for somthing as stupid as xbox live?Quote from: Crafty on October 02, 2008, 07:45:39 PM

Why would somebody go to the trouble of hacking into your computer to get your password, (ASSUMING of course you have the "remember me" item checked), simply to use it for another free service?

It's probably just a conniving friend of yours that knows you well enough to guess your password or security question answers.


regardless, change your password and security questions and you should be fine.Better yet since you are sure no one has access to your machine because of the hefty locked door policy delete your msn account and create a new one...the locked door approach has failed somewhere.
